So my doctor decided to tell me that she can no longer be my care provider so she referred me to a hospital that is 2 hours away. i told her i dont have transportation and she says well thays something ur gonna have to figure out and that im to high risk and to much stress for her. what would you other moms do in this situation. if anyone has any advice it would be greatly appriciated.

By calling her too high risk and too stressful could be that her patient load doesn't allow her to provide the best care; however her lack of concern in making an appropriate referral shows some level of negligence.

This could've been communicated in a more respectful way. Def needs reporting. Would also help in identifying if she has a trend in passing on high risk patients.

Quoting madipayt:

How far along are you? Did she give you a reason? I would definately find someone closer and then report her. That is just heartless of the dr, esp if you are high risk.
